Pirate's Ultimate Intention

Chapter 224 The Choice Before Otohime
When the huge cylindrical iceberg slowly appeared in the field of vision of Mi Lu and others from the wind and snow, a ship with the Whitebeard Pirate Flag also arrived at the Fishman Island.

After the ship stopped, the people who got off the ship were Marco with a pineapple head, and Namuel, a murloc wearing a T-shirt with a red five-pointed star logo.

To be honest, Marco really doesn't want to come to Fishman Island now, because things here are very troublesome.

But for Namuir, he had to come.

"Marco, Namuel." Waiting under the boat was Jinbe, who had already received the news and arrived.

It's just that Jinping's face is not very good at this time.

"Jinbei." Marco said with a wry smile, "Milu can really cause trouble!"

"His Majesty Neptune and His Highness Otohime have prepared a banquet in Dragon Palace City, let's go there first!" Jinbe sighed, but did not answer.

Because Jinping knew in his heart that although Milu had caused a lot of troubles, he couldn't blame Milu for what happened this time.

So knowing Marco's intentions, he didn't have much to say.

"That's good, finish the work early, maybe you can find time to find Ace." Marco glanced at Namuir, who had been looking bad, and responded with a bit of meaning to change the topic.

"Isn't Ace back yet?" Jinbe had always paid attention to Ace's affairs, but the recent incidents in the Fishman Island also made him a little anxious.

And while he was talking, he also took Marco and Namuel onto the fish-carrying cart from Dragon Palace City.

"Well, I haven't come back yet, and because of the Red Earth Continent, it's very difficult to contact him." Marko said with a bit of worry.

Tiki's disguise is too deep, so deep that no one in the entire pirate group understands his true face.

Ace chased after him alone, which always gave Marco a bad feeling, but his father didn't say anything, and he was not very good at taking any action.

"I didn't expect that Tiqi would betray Dad for a devil fruit, and even shoot at Saki." Jinbe sighed.

He knew Tiqi, and even drank wine with Tiqi many times.

Without this incident, in Jinbe's impression, Tiki would be a forthright and trustworthy pirate partner.

But the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that he could hide in the Whitebeard Pirates for such a long time for a devil fruit, or a dream.

"No matter why, Tiqi must die." Namuer spoke for the first time after getting off the boat, but the words he said were as gloomy and scary as his expression.

"Namuel, relax, the matter is not as serious as you think, as long as the fishman island can close the submarine train in time, there should be no problem." Marko was speechless.

Along the way, he was always looking at Namuir's stinky face, which really made him feel irritable for no reason.

"It's not easy. Mi Lu had already warned in advance when things started to emerge, but look!" Jinping said, pointing at the fish cart that was leading everyone towards Dragon Palace. street.

I saw many human tourists on the street.

These humans are different from the humans who landed on Murloc Island in the past, no matter how they dress or how they behave.

Because they are not pirates and human traffickers!
"I think His Royal Highness Otohime should be able to understand, and I'm sorry Jinpei, I'm not here to discuss this time, just to inform you, the specific choice depends entirely on His Majesty Neptune and His Royal Highness Otohime." Marko looked at it naturally. To everything below, but so what?
"Hey!" Jinbe sighed, "I can understand."

Marco stopped talking, but looked at Dragon Palace City, which was gradually approaching.

He has been here many times, but he has never been in the same depressed mood as he is now.

……

When he followed King Neptune to the banquet hall, Marco didn't waste any time: "Your Majesty Neptune, have people from the World Government approached you?"

Neptune glanced at Princess Otohime, then nodded.

At this time, everyone in the banquet hall also looked at Marco.

Marco nodded: "In this case, let me tell you what Dad means. Dad hopes that the fishman island can temporarily shut down the operation of the submarine train."

Following Marco's words, the banquet hall fell silent for a short time.

"Why?" Princess Otohime's voice broke the silence after a long time.

With the opening of the submarine train, Princess Otohime really saw the hope that the two races could live in peace in the future. At this time, she did not want to shut down the operation of the submarine train at all.

"Because the submarine train will bring danger to Murloc Island." Marco frowned.

"Your Highness Otome, this is already a concession made by the father." Namuer looked at Princess Otome dissatisfied.

"The world government just wants to increase taxes, and for the sake of the future Murloc Island is acceptable!" Otohime bit her lip.

She and Neptune received the world government officials together.

Concubine Otohime thinks that the appeal of the world government is acceptable. After all, with the opening of the submarine train, Fishman Island has indeed received a lot of benefits.

And people from the World Government did not mention the issue of the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates on the island.

Princess Otohime said the meaning of the world government, just to let Marco know that the world government has given in on the issue of Fishman Island!

If the Whitebeard Pirates can also back down, then the peace of Murloc Island can completely continue in the mutual understanding between Murlocs and humans.

Marco fiddled with the cup on the table: "If you are a member of the world government, Murloc Island can naturally pay taxes, but now Murloc Island is protected under the name of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Princess Yi Ji hesitated slightly: "But the original gold in the sky..."

"Otohime!" Neptune suddenly stopped Princess Otohime who wanted to say something.

Marco waved his hand indifferently: "The time is different. The opening of the submarine train has made it possible for Murloc Island to become the second commercial route between the New World and the Paradise. The benefits involved are enough to make Fishman Island has become a battlefield.

The Navy wants to pay taxes, but the Whitebeard Pirates need to protect it. This is unreasonable anyway.

So what Dad means is, it depends on your choice, if it is for the future, let the world government and the navy guard the fishman island, and the Whitebeard Pirates will find an excuse to give up the fishman island to the navy.

If you are worried that Murloc Island will become a battlefield, then close the submarine train. "

When Marco talked about the back, he didn't look at Princess Otohime and King Neptune, but at Namuel and Jinbe.

Papa would make this choice, and Marco knew it was because this was Namuel's hometown.

Otohime was silent, what Marco said was indeed the problem that Fishman Island is facing now.

It's just that she had to face a question in her heart, that is, can the navy and the world government really keep the Fishman Island?
In other words, are they willing to keep the Murloc Island and the Murloc people on the island?
